Odyssey Lorelelis, Tyler Acoustics Tylo 7U


Well, I am spinning my wheels between these 2 fine speakers...

My situation: I currently only have a pair of vintage EV 12 trxb's driven my a Berning EA-230 and TF-10 pre...and a MC40 pair driven by tubed C-20 pre...

I am pondering completing a vintage setup of the Mc gear with the EV's, so I need something modern to mate to the Berning rig...

I have always been a fan of paper or paper doped cones...and I am very familiar with what the Scan Speak 18W/5545 brings to the table with a non revelator Scan Speak tweeter,,,as reviews stated, the Loreleis have the slam and emotion that i like...

But sometimes change is good...The Tyler is an all SEAS system with dual magnesium cones and the Millenium tweeter..and the lit spec 35 Hz on bottom.,it doesnt say how mnay dB down there you get..and the looks are just phenomenal..but I am not sure of what these drivers bring to the table...I canm imagine speed, accuracy, dynamics etc..

any opinions?

I owned a pair of 7Us with the Revelator tweeter for a year prior to moving up to the Linbrook Signature System and really enjoyed them. Went through a number of changes on the front end during that time and found the speakers to be very revealing with a good soundstage. A move from a SS pre to an ARC LS16 mkII just prior to upgrading speakers proved to be an excellent match - if I hadn't already ordered the Linbrooks, I may well have kept the 7Us. Bass is very quick and well defined and though it doesn't go as low as what I enjoy now, it's not anemic in any way.
